Multivariate Analysis Coupled with M-SVM Classification for Lard Adulteration Detection in Meat Mixtures of Beef, Lamb, and Chicken Using FTIR Spectroscopy

Abstract

Adulteration of meat products is a delicate issue for people around the globe. The mixing of lard in meat causes a significant problem for end users who are sensitive to halal meat consumption. Due to the highly similar lipid profiles of meat species, the identification of adulteration becomes more difficult. Therefore, a comprehensive spectral detailing of meat species is required, which can boost the adulteration detection process. The experiment was conducted by distributing samples labeled as “Pure (80 samples)” and “Adulterated (90 samples)”. Lard was mixed with the ratio of 10–50% v/v with beef, lamb, and chicken samples to obtain adulterated samples. Functional groups were discovered for pure pork, and two regions of difference (RoD) at wavenumbers 1700–1800 cm−1 and 2800–3000 cm−1 were identified using absorbance values from the FTIR spectrum for all samples. The principal component analysis (PCA) described the studied adulteration using three principal components with an explained variance of 97.31%. The multiclass support vector machine (M-SVM) was trained to identify the sample class values as pure and adulterated clusters. The acquired overall classification accuracy for a cluster of pure samples was 81.25%, whereas when the adulteration ratio was above 10%, 71.21% overall accuracy was achieved for a group of adulterated samples. Beef and lamb samples for both adulterated and pure classes had the highest classification accuracy value of 85%, whereas chicken had the lowest value of 78% for each category. This paper introduces a comprehensive spectrum analysis for pure and adulterated samples of beef, chicken, lamb, and lard. Moreover, we present a rapid M-SVM model for an accurate classification of lard adulteration in different samples despite its low-level presence.

Sustainable or Not? Insights on the Consumption of Animal Products in Poland

“…This is meat produced by in vitro cell cultures of animal cells [ 54 ]. The type of meat and its source e.g., due to the adulteration of meat products [ 55 ], as well as the form of its processing are also important. The most controversial health aspect of meat consumption is related to the likely carcinogenic effects of red and processed meat [ 56 , 57 ], as well as the risk of ischemic heart disease [ 58 ].…”

The Application of Chemometrics in Metabolomic and Lipidomic Analysis Data Presentation for Halal Authentication of Meat Products

“…In addition, the regulation of halal status is indeed important to assure the quality and standard of halal meat products [ 28 ]. This can be accomplished through an official certification and placement of an official logo on the products as a mean to provide security to consumers [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ].…”

Authentication of Rattus Norvegicus Fat and Other Animal Fats Using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (Gc-Ms) and Principal Component Analysis (Pca)

“…The adulteration of meat by replacing or mixing halal meat with non-halal meat can cause various problems such as (1) religious and belief problems due to the substitution of halal meat, such as beef with non-halal meat such as rat meat, dog meat, wild boar meat and pork. [4][5][6], (2) health-related problems [3] and (3) allergenic reactions [7]. The nutrition and safety of meat are directly related to people's health and quality of life [8].…”
